It has been six years since I was commissioned by a consumer life promotion member. Enlightenment and interaction with local people by holding lectures on the most important issue of "damage to malicious business law". In addition, measures to prevent global warming that are causing severe weather, which is currently regarded as important. Actions that we consumers should take immediately (food loss reduction, local production for local consumption, separation of garbage, etc.).
Fiscal 2020 was an unforgettable year of the COVID-19 pandemic and the excitement of Hayabusa2. I hope that Corona will end and we will be able to do our usual activities. I would like to make use of this six years as a consumer life promotion member and continue to aim for a smart consumer in the future.

As a consumer life promotion member, I learned what I studied at workshops, lectures, malicious business law damage prevention courses, etc. in an easy-to-understand manner so that it is useful for the lives of local people, and "I can feel the movement of the world closer. "
Activities with many friends were fun and I grew up myself. Thank you very much for your meaningful six years.
The only thing I remember is that we were unable to do enough activities in the last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Six years ago, I was asked by Neighborhood Association to accept it without knowing the reason.
However, when I participated, it was a very meaningful activity, such as studying the changing malicious business law and special fraud techniques every day, visiting disaster prevention, visiting water purification plants and power plants.
It was also a fun experience to display panels and create works at the Tokutoku Life Festa in November. Looking at the panels of each district, I learned what I didn't know, and made cute works with the children using unnecessary items so that they could be recycled.
Although I was not a member of the promotion who received it positively, I was able to get to know many people in six years and had a valuable experience above all. I hope that more people will continue to take over fun activities.

As a member of the Consumer Affairs Promotion Committee, I learned a lot about water regeneration, food and garbage issues that are deeply involved in life, and at various lectures, what is happening in today's society. .
In the Malicious Business Law Damage Prevention Lecture, we played skits in an easy-to-understand manner, told answering machines and how to prevent damage, and deepened friendship with local elderly people. .
What I am most pleased is that if the town is different, I will work with people I did not know, become very close friends, and have been interacting for a long time. Please experience the consumer life promotion staff who can learn while having fun.
